Most people lose money betting on sports. Not because they're dumb — because they're doing 3 things wrong that are easy to fix.

1. Betting with their heart instead of data

Your gut feeling is worth nothing. The sharps don't care about narratives or "vibes." They care about closing line value, injury reports, and market inefficiencies. If you can't explain why a line is off, you shouldn't be betting it.

2. No bankroll management

If you're betting 10-20% of your bankroll on a single game, you're not a bettor — you're a gambler. The standard is 1-3% per play. Boring? Sure. Profitable? Absolutely.

3. Chasing losses

You lose a bet. You immediately double up to "get it back." Now you're down 3x. Sound familiar? The best bettors in the world lose 45% of their bets. The difference is they don't panic.

Fix these three things and you're already ahead of 90% of people putting money down.
